Mother of the Child’s card, accompanying a handmade beaten and cut copper bracelet

Film Strip
My sister’s card, accompanying a framed photo she’d taken, developed, and pulled an archival print of

Christmas Tree
Lisa Costello‘s card, accompany a very nice scarf

Puzzle Pieces
Dad’s card, with a handmade wooden puzzle

Once Upon a Time
The Niece’s card, with a very nice Cross fountain pen she had coveted

Music

Chinese Food

There has been discussion of her opening a card shop on Etsy. I am so proud of her.
